When You Were a Child

Cuando eras un niño

When You Were a Child

Cuando eras un niño eras un amigo míoWhen you were a child you were a friend of mine
Y te amaba a mi maneraAnd I loved you in my way
Pero aunque nos distanciamos y perdí contacto contigoBut though we grew apart, and I lost touch with you
Todavía parece como si fuera ayerIt still seems like yesterday
No te he visto en mucho tiempoI haven't seen you in a long time
Oh, pero apuesto a que te ves igual que siempreOh, but I bet you look the same way you always did
Cuando eras un niño eras un amigo míoWhen you were a child you were a friend of mine
Y te amaba a mi manera.And I loved you in my way.

Cuando eras un niño solías pintar para míWhen you were a child you used to paint for me
Y te amaba a mi maneraAnd I loved you in my way
Con el tiempo, los cuadros se desvanecieron y fueron apartadosIn time the paintings faded and were set aside
Ahora han sido tiradosThey have now been thrown away
No te he visto en mucho tiempoI haven't seen you in a long time
Oh, pero apuesto a que te ves igual que siempreOh but I bet you look the same way you always did
Cuando eras un niño solías pintar para míWhen you were a child you used to paint for me
Y te amaba a mi manera.And I loved you in my way.

Cuando eras un niño solías reír para míWhen you were a child you used to laugh for me
Y te amaba a mi maneraAnd I loved you in my way
Pero a medida que las risas se volvían plateadas, costaban demasiadoBut as the laughs turned silver they cost too much
Ya eras demasiado grande para jugarYou were far too grown to play
Aunque no te había visto en mucho tiempoThough I hadn't seen you in a long time
Oh, sabía que te verías igual que siempreOh I just knew you'd look the same way you always did
Cuando eras un niño solías reír para míWhen you were a child you used to laugh for me
Y te amaba a mi manera.And I loved you in my way.
